UUCH TOO FRFOUFNT FISH

1.-The Jewclry News tells the usual summer
story Of the young lady, her lost locket and tho
fish. While picnicking on Hayes Millpond.
wherever that may be, the young lady lost her
locket. Naturally enough and as always happens,
lit was present from deceased aunt and was
highly priced" OF course, too a long and careful
search was made for tbs missing piece OF jewelry,
and it eluded all attempts TO find it, Lock is

as our readers have already shrewdly conjectured,
is as follows:

SENATOR SHERMAN ON 7HE PRESIDENCY

EXPECTING THE APPROVAL OF OHIO REPUBLICANS
AS A PRIMARY CONDITION TO HIS CANDIDACY.
COLUMBUS, July IS Tsp eiap Senator Sherman has In
his own handwriting announced his position a.
candidate for President. To-day conference was
held In Columbus. General Grosvenor, A. @ Thomp-
son. George K. Nash. +. d. Mussey, General John
Beatty, John Little and Others decided that 1t was
time for sherman to be bold to withdraw. Those
who had been In consultation with Sherman at Mans
field announced that the Senator demanded lndorse-
ment at Toledo next week. Senator Shermans own
words In letter to Colonel Mussey are these:

United States as Presidential candidate II there u

1t was a revel of destroying forces. 1t con-
demned to slaughter Camille Desmoulins,
Fouchet and Brissot-the men Of the 18th
Of july; then Vergniaud and the Girondists
and then Danton, Robespiere and a host OF
political leaders and republican agitators. it
came to an ignominious end when the French
people were weary Of the excitement and
horror OF bloodshed and anarchy-when the
face Of Liberty herself, crowned with the
bonnet rouge, had stony stare like Medusa'
That revolution, common "'ated on this 18th
of July, can have no inspiring memories for
the new Republic. The day Of the tennis
court oath would have marked the beginning
of the responsibilities of representative gov
ernment It would have connected the pres
emit with the honored past and have been an
earnest Of an era of constitutional progress
and civic courage.

FREITS or SPECCL4TlON

The decline IN cotton on Monday would have
been rs appropriate and much more useful
il 1t had occurred some time ago. Last
March. with every prospect Of good crop so
far as there could be any indication at that
time, the price was lifted by speculation from
O6 cents to 1906 cents for low middlng {;
in April, with improving prospects. from 1905
to 1887 cents. and in May. with still better
and almost uniformly favorable prospects, to
ll.06 cents. From that price. which was still
maintained June 3, there was a slow decline
when wheat and other great spcculations
broke down, and yet the resistance Of the
SPECTATORS in control was so far effective that
the price July was 1860 ccnts-far above
the price at which the cotton could be proftably
exported, it is needless to say. Some conse-
qucnccs Of this movement are shown ia the
following official statistics OF exports for
three months in comparison with The same
months last year:

THE FRENCH HOLIDAY.

French Republicans can gather little In
spiration from the historical associations OF
their national holiday. When Deaunay and
the Swiss garrison of the Bastile were beaten
back and the doors of the gloomy prison were
opened, only seven prisoners were found
within, and four Of them were forgers. The
political despotism Of the lettre de cachet had
come to an end years before that scene Of mob
violence occurred. The stoming Of the Bas-
tile was the signal for revolution. 1t wac
day without heroes, for although over GOO
names were subsequently inscribed on The
column in the Place de la Bastile. not one OF
them has been cherished by the French people
as synonyme for patriotism civic dignity or
republican progress The mob that surround
ed the prison house Of the Bourbon Kings had
no leaders. Camille Desmoulins gave the first
signal for the march from the Palais Royal,
but neither he nor his political associates were
men Of heroic stature, and most of them went
to their death not long aflcrward in execution
crs' carts, cursing the people and bcwailing
their fate. This is the day which the French
people celebrate as their chief holiday-a day
without noble and inspiring recollections-
day memorable solely as starting point
for revolution bcsmeared with crime.
The 14th Of July is letter day
for the national fete than the 10th
Of August, when the Tuilerics were
sacked. or than the 21st of September, when
the first Republic was proclaimed but it il
not an appropriate holiday for Republic
that Is now instinct with creative energies
and destined to work out by an orderly pro-
cess of political evolution pacific and bene6-
cent destiny. We have always regarded it
as misfortune for France that the destruction
of the Bastile should have been selected in
preference to that nobler and more dignifed
scene in June, when the members Of the Third
Estate assembled in the tennis-court at Yer
saillcs and made their celebrated vow to de-
fcnd their rights and liberties as representa-
tives Of the people. That would have been
tho true anniversary for the Republic Of to-
dav, because it marked the supreme moment
when tho representatives Of the nation became
conscious Of their own strength and declared
their political independence. The revolution
OF which the storming of the Bastilc was the
opening scene ushcred in a period of extcr.
mination. 1t spared neither genius nor virtue.

THE EDUCATION OF APPRENTICES.
MAsTER-PAINTERs DISCUSS THE SUBJECT wITT
MUCH EARNEaTNESS

MASTER-PAINTERS DISCUSS THE SUBJECT WITH
MUCH EARNEsTNEss.
The master painters met again yesterday in the
Masonic Temple and began the second days session Of
their annual convention by resuming the discussion
ON .he subject Of apprenticeship. Mr.. Reed offered
resolutions providing that the president appoint .
committee to forward the establishment OF manual
training schools Mr. Marks. of New-Jersey, opposed
the idea the grounds that the boys would know
more than their BOSSES After some discussion the
resolution adopted. A letter was read from the
secretary OF the National Journaymen Painters Union,
which suggested a law which would compel boys to
remain with the masters until thev became competent
workmen, thus Kidding the trade OF the botches"
with which II Is afflicted. The secretary was in
structed to reply that the master painters were will
ing to act with the Ourneymen In the matter. reso-
luton was adopted that apprentice should be en-
ployed by one master who had left another.
Walter Reed, of New-York, read paper on the
best means Of managing workmen, In which be
defined the mutual duties OF master and man. John

AT the afternoon session there was moro debate on
the apprenticeship system, which was finally settled
by the adoption of the following resolution:

nze that II Is the duty OF every master painter 70 taEe

his ability to the same, and recommend that NO

1t appears that the decline in amount OF
cash realized from cotton sold abroad has been
over $25 100000 in the two months. and the
heavy loss contributed greatly to the unfavor-
able statements Of foreign trade for those
months. The quantity sent abroad was $751;
1876 bales less than in the same months OF the
previous year. when the crop was but little
larger, and during the same months the guam
tity taken by Northern spinners was only
1T, 1876 bales, against 219,214 for the same
months of the previous year. Thus the entire
foreign trade Of the country was disturbed,
the manufacture throughout the North was
embarrassed by an unreasonable price for
the raw material and the stock of cotton left
on hand at ports and a few interior towns

in defiance Of the natural conditions Of supply
and demand to make the industries cf tho

The TRIBUNE has no opinion to express OF
the future course Of speculation In this or
other staples, but it has belief that false
and artificial markets for the great farm prod
ucts are hurtful to producers, hurtful to con-
sumcrs in this country, and exceedingly hurtful
to the commerce Of the country. 1t believes
that comb nations to force false prices OF staples
are contrary to public interest and should be
strongly cens,ircd by public opinion. More
over, it believes that an imitation Of paper
currency by this Administration has been an
effective stimulus and important cause Of the
desperate speculations which have ragged so
wildly in wheat, cotton. pork products and real
estate during the past year, and that the Ad-
ministraton is therefore justly accountable
for much OF the evil which these speculations
have caused and may vet cause.
